In the code immediately ahead of this there is an INVALID_ALTP2M check
already (in the else branch). If the __vmread() can legitimately produce
this value, why would the domain be crashed when getting back
INVALID_ALTP2M in the other case? I think the correctness of your change
can only be judged once both code paths behave consistently.
